House records 14th case of COVID-19 after another security staff tests positive
The House of Representatives has recorded its 14th case of COVID-19 after a security staffer tested positive for the disease.
This staffer last reported for duty on June 14, but visited the House on June 29 to claim salaries and is now under home quarantine.
Contact tracing is being conducted to identify individuals who may have been exposed.
House Secretary General Jose Luis Montales advised everyone to be extra cautious due to increased risks from eased travel restrictions and economic reopening.
The House has reported cases almost daily in the past two weeks, including three employees testing positive on July 1, 2, and 5.
A House employee who previously tested positive in March has died, and another employee, the 8th case, has since tested negative.
